Ingredients
Scale
For the cookies:
- 8 Tbsp (115 g) unsalted butter
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ cup (110 g) light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp egg white
- ½ cup (55 g) ground almonds
- 1–2 Tbsp water
For the filling:
- Nutella (or your spread of choice)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter.
- Add the light brown sugar and salt, and whisk until the mixture simmers. Continue to whisk for 1 more minute then transfer to a bowl.
- Add the vanilla and ground almonds and mix well. Let the mixture sit and cool for a few minutes.
- Add the egg white and 1 Tbsp water. Mix well. The mixture should be liquid, not hard, so add another Tbsp water if needed.
- Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile preheat your oven to 180°C/ 350°F.
- On a sheet tray lined with a baking sheet, place 1 tsp of the mixture at a time, leaving 4-inch gaps between each cookie, as the mixture will spread.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes. When the butter stops bubbling and the cookies are caramelized, they are done. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
- When the cookies are cool, pair them up, and fill each sandwich with Nutella or filling of your choice.
